A bargain basement sale of properties took place in Dublin this afternoon – with crowds so large, organisers were concerned proceedings might have to be shut down shortly after bidding began.

MORE THAN 80 bargain basement properties were for sale at auction at the Shelbourne Hotel today, including a site in Wicklow town with a reserve price of €20,000 and a flat in Temple Bar with a reserve of just €80,000.

Interest in the auction ahead of the day was high, with the Space’s website receiving 70,000 hits in the first two weeks after announcing the properties. Interest was spread across Ireland, UK and 134 countries overseas.

Stephen McCarthy from Space auctioneers said that this level of interest “firmly establishes that the Irish taste for property at the right price has not been dampened by the past few years”.

The auction began at around midday and ended just after 5pm, however shortly before 1pm it was thought proceedings might have to grind to a halt – as the crowd had grown to such as size people had spilled onto the street. Security on the door told TheJournal.ie that only people with two forms of photo ID and a chequebook were being permitted entry.
